About Forthing
Forthing is the passenger car brand of Dongfeng, one of China’s largest state-owned automakers. It focuses on affordable electrified family vehicles, including battery-electric and range-extender (REEV) models.
The brand launched in Australia in 2026 through importer Ateco Group, which also distributes LDV and RAM. Its first model is the mid-size Taikon 5 SUV, offered as an EV from $38,990 drive-away and a REEV from $36,990 drive-away, backed by a 7-year/200,000km warranty. Further models are planned over the next 18 months, starting with an affordable people mover.
Forthing is positioned as a value-focused newcomer, competing on price and equipment against mainstream mid-size EVs and hybrids.
